    Hey im after upgrading from my crappy computer an i was wondering are these specs ok for playin battlefield, i no their not great but mabye they will do until i can afford a btr budget, lol. Jus tell me also wat else could i over clock other than my graphics card to speed up gameplay. Im usin stuf from my old pc, well its two yrs old, jus that its all crappy an crap really, im using the power supply an the cd rom drives. Is it possible to use my old hard drive, can i totally clear it an make it kinda new by wiping everything from it, coz i heard its better 2 use two hard drives for gaming an to put all the games on one hard drive an keep all the other misc stuff on the other one. How can i do this. Thanks for all ur time an hopefully u can helpz me or something.
    Cheers

    you can overclock your processor aswell but that setup would play BF quite well so no worries imo.

    Ah yea, it'll run no probs. Thats similar to my system. You'll get everything to at least medium quality.

    As a mod of the Bf forum and a former 56k'er, I'm going to allow any form of 56k gripes.

    all of us, or well most of us are former 56kers, tho really back in the day it was more like 14kers, now that was something to gripe about.(there was that brief peroid at being a 9.6ker, but i don't think in need to go into the fun that was..)


    and ain't their a forum for such bitching? ireland offline if i recall...

    I was merely suggesting that a turned down graphics option does in fact give a better ping, prehaps not a lot to notice but it does.

    Now if youll excuse me Im going to go get shot on navan
